Circular route from Cayfas to Listrac-de-Durèze

Starting from the church car park, take the paths through the woods where you’ll spot a few pidgeon hunting huts. Then, up on the hillside, amidst the vineyards, you’ll have an exceptional view of the valley.

Description of the walk

Start at the car park by the church in Listrac-de-Durèze

(S/E) The signpost behind Listrac church indicates the route to follow. Walk past the cemetery and turn right

(1) At the junction, take the D15 on the right for a few dozen metres and turn left towards the hamlet of Cayfas.

(2) After this hamlet, ignore a path on the left (which will be your return route) and head towards the hamlet of Jourdan, which you’ll pass on your right.

(3) At the next crossroads, turn left and almost immediately turn right (view of Listrac) and head down through the vineyards. The path follows a circular route through the Bois de Boulac to rejoin the road you left earlier.

(4) Turn right (on the right, on the hillside, you’ll see the remains of old dwellings carved into the limestone). Pass a pigsty at the hamlet of Le Claud, continue for 100m and take a dirt track on the left through the vineyards.

(5) Cross fields and woods. Join a road at the hamlet known as Le Basque and follow it.

(6) At the bend, turn left and follow the path between the vineyards.

(7) As you leave the vineyards, at the signpost, turn left, pass the hamlet of Bouquet and arrive at the D126.

(2) Turn right, go back through Cayfas and follow the route you took on the way there to return to the car park (S/E).

Thank you for this route. At point 6, the path is at the junction, not in the bend.
A lovely walk through the woods.

At the start, there was too much tarmac (and the same on the way back). What a shame!
No ruins

A short, easy walk, clearly signposted and reliable. A walk in the Gironde without vineyards or pine trees!

A lovely walk on a sunny autumn day. Didn’t see the “view of Listrac” as described, after Cayfas when you’re in the vineyards. Couldn’t find “4) Turn right (to the right, along the hillside, ruins of old dwellings carved into the limestone).” Pass a pigsty at a place called Le Claud" – neither the remains of old dwellings nor the pigsty! Apart from that, it’s perfect!

A brilliant hike, but one to do again in good weather – and definitely not in the rain, as we did...
